Sorry, that is the only picture I have left.
I know it seems like extra trouble but what I do to be sure I am on the compression stroke is remove a Glow Plug and put my finger over the Glow Plug Hole while I turn. That way I feel tha air pushing against my finger I know it is the compression strioke.
That way I do not worry what position Camshaft Lobes are in.
Also with the Glow Plug remove it is slightly easier to line up the timing mark as you are not turning against the compression in the #1 Cylinder.

By the way, nice photograpy.
